Last straw too much for Double-barred Finch
Townsville Common Cons. Pk, track to Jacana hide, today. Flew off a second later with lighter load.

Oooh, look! What's that shiny black and white bird? It's so smooth and black on back and head. Could it be a rarely seen Satin Fly... -
Dusky Moorhen pauses while attending to morning toilette in Townsville Palmetum. Not my target bird, but couldn't find Rufous Owl repo... -
Remember this? And this? Or this? Now the scene is this. Queensland Parks and Wildlife burned east of road in Town Common Co...

Great that you are OK and the caravan too. The new reports were quite horrendous!
Hi Mick: Problem is sorting the hard news from the scary stuff, of which there's more than plenty at present.
Good to hear Tony, we've been thinking of you.
Wow Tony, we've been a bit concerned about you - very pleased to know that you, caravan and awning have survived. We only had a couple of hours of strong winds as Yasi's top edge gave us a glancing blow.
All the best to you
Barbara & Allen
Thanks Duncan: I'm really very lucky because now have extension feeding petrol gen power to caravan. Not so green, but needs must.
Hi Barbara, Allen: We down here might not think so, but Yasi's bend to southwest did the majority population at risk quite a favour. Good to hear you escaped lightly.
Good news Tony!
Glad you don't have to head out to 'Isa to collect the van.
Regards,
Gouldiae.
Excellent to read that everything's okay with you, Tony. No power at home, so no internet connection. Am leeching off a friend in Atherton today to catch up on as much as I can. (While he's wielding a chainsaw down on the coast.)
Three ring bolts and some shelter from nearby camp kitchen meant caravan didn't budge, Gouldiae. Scarcely a leak in spite of decrepit fittings and cracked window. Back on town water since. Full electricity supply perhaps by midweek.
Chainsaws, tractors and mighty mulching chippers - and us - going noisy and strong, Bronwen. Hope you get home to power soon. Nice, too, to have friends at these times.
Hi Tony glad to see you made it in one piece. Bit of a blow heh. I'll be able to venture into town tomorrow and check the Tyto Centre out. I've been told it's fine
Gidday Rae: Info centre looked OK when I cycled by yesterday, but water not getting away from the new lagoons and I couldn't get into main lagoon because of fallen tree over mian entry track and flooded entry at north track.
Hi Tony
Glad you made it out the other side of Yasi OK.
Cheers
Denis
